@theneghan: "Anybody like to extend some thanks for a wonderful bipartisan power play?
Senators McCain and Lieberman threatened to hold up the Highway bill (More
pork in there than the San Fernando Valley)
in order to buy an extension for the 9/11 commission.
The powers that be, were going to end this, as is, so they could immediately
act on the findings. (National security and all) Of course, acting on an
incomplete investigation is what they do bestJ . But at the 2 minute warning
McCain and Lieberman pulled this beauty out and procured 2-3 more months.
Of course , the Powers that be are all proclaiming their great joy at having
this extra time (uh...Now!)
What annoys me is the idea that this investigation needed to be put away
because this is an election year and we would not want this sort of thing
politicized. The only folks that were going to politicize this would be the
RNC and the DNC. The general public, in my opinion, just wants to know the
goddamn truth. There is enough blame to go around.
I pasted the addresses of the Senators below. I think they deserve a thank
you. Tom
P.S. okay ,..we can go back to our normally scheduled squabbling
